NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF A BOND RESOLUTION SUBJECT TO

PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM WHICH HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE NOV. 8, 2016 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT PURSUANT TO TOWN BOARD MOTION 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at a meeting held on the 6TH day of September, 2016, the Town Board of the Town of Westerlo, New York duly adopted a bond resolution, an abstract of which follows, which resolution is subject to the permissive referendum provisions of Article 7 of the Town Law.  On said date, the Town Board further motioned, pursuant to Section 35.00 of the Local Finance Law and Article 7 of the Town Law, to submit the Bond Resolution for approval by the electorate pursuant to a referendum to be held at the next general election scheduled for November 8, 2016.

Bond Resolution No. 35 of 2016 authorized the Town to borrow up to $887,000.00 to renovate the existing Town Hall by upgrading the heating system, relocating to the Town Hall the State Police Annex and the Town Court from its current location at the Town Highway Garage, upgrading the interior for ADA compliance, removing and remediating all asbestos, renovating the exterior and upgrading the same for ADA compliance, and conducting site work for a sidewalk, parking and entrance (the “Project”). The estimated maximum cost of the project, as set forth in the resolution, is $887,000.00 and said amount was appropriated in the resolution for such renovation.  The resolution also authorized the issuance by the Town of up to $887,000.00 in bonds or notes of the Town to finance said appropriation. The Town Board determined in the resolution, among other things, that the period of probable usefulness, as set forth in the Local Finance Law, was thirty (30) years, but that the Town Board did not expect that the maturity of the bonds would exceed twenty (20) years, excluding the terms of any notes issued in anticipation of such bonds.  

Said resolution shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption, unless there shall be filed with the Town Clerk a petition signed and acknowledged by the electors of the Town qualified to vote upon a proposition to raise and expend money, in the number equal to at least five percentum (5%) of the total vote case for governor in the Town at the last general election held for the election of State officers, protesting against the resolution and requesting that the matter be submitted to the qualified electors of the Town at a referendum in the  manner provided by the Town Law.  The Town Board, on its own motion, however, has scheduled a referendum on the Bond Resolution for November 8, 2016.

A complete copy of the bond resolution is available for inspection at the Office of the Town Clerk, located at the Town Hall, 933 CR 401, Westerlo, New York 12193 during regular business hours.
